Winsome Resources (ASX:WR1) has drilled further high-grade assay results at its wholly-owned Adina project in Quebec, Canada.
Assays are from the central portion of the Main Zone at Adina and include several +50m intersections above grades of 1% Li2O.
“Results from drilling are demonstrating that Adina is a robust lithium project well placed for development to supply future North American demand,” Managing Director, Chris Evans, said.
“We have intersected mineralization on every drill section over a 700m strike length. More importantly the consistency of grade and width through the core of the deposit is very encouraging and gives encouragement for the future development of the project.
“The assay results are supporting our initial interpretations based on logged spodumene-bearing pegmatite zones which allows us to plan drilling effectively and efficiently without having to wait for assay data.
“ Having recently been on site and seeing the exceptional work done to date I am grateful to our team for their hard work to fast track this project and look forward to both more drilling data and more assay results in coming weeks.”
The latest assay results are from 14 drillholes in the central portion of the Adina Main Zone (which covers the Jamar discovery. These holes were drilled in November-December 2022.
Over 8,600m have now been drilled in 38 holes at the Adina Main Zone (Appendix 3), defining a substantial continuous pegmatite body over a strike length of approximately 700m and to depths 200m from surface.
Based on drilling intersections the pegmatite body pinches and swells along strike and down-dip which, along with the variations in the tenor of lithium mineralization, is likely to indicate multiple phases of pegmatitic intrusions over time and possible compositional variations between phases in addition to zonation within phases.
Both geochemistry and mineralogy are to be used to better map the individual phases and aid future drill targeting.
Mineralization remains open along strike to the east and west of these results as well as down dip. Assays are awaited from some 16 drillholes and drilling continues at site with two rigs in operation.
Recent drilling completed includes a fence of drillholes which successfully intersected spodumene bearing pegmatite along strike from holes AD-22-042 and AD-22-046, to the east of section E02.
Drilling is currently testing the pegmatite body down dip of the intersections reported here and previously after which step outs to the east of holes AD-23-071 – 073 are planned to be drilled.
A further potential strike extension of the pegmatite body to a total of 1,600m has been interpreted based on recent drilling results and geophysical surveys, with a third drilling rig being mobilized to site to fast- track drilling of these targets as well as those delineated by ground gravity surveying.
